MICRO BASS FE

The MICRO BASS FE (Final Edition) is Prox's compact mobile bass rod, a Japanese domestic market (JDM) series based on the concept of ultraportable lure bass fishing. The target angler is a Japanese urban or mobile angler who wants to fish bass with a rod that fits in a backpack or bicycle bag, a common fishing style in Japan for small ponds, urban canals, and accessible freshwater spots. Blanks are approximately 81% carbon content with a collapsed length around 35–36 cm across both models, achieved through 7-piece telescopic construction.

This is a mobile rod first, a performance rod second. Lure ranges target small plugs, ned rigs, small jigs, and finesse soft plastics appropriate for Japanese bass fishing. The baitcasting variant uses a trigger grip; the spinning model a conventional spinning layout. Both collapse to near-identical lengths for portability. [JDM product; English-language information is limited, details drawn from Japanese retailer listings and proxinc. co. jp.] The two models are organized by presentation style at the same length range: MBF60MLTC is a baitcasting (trigger) version rated for 8–12 lb line and 3/16–1/2 oz lures, while MBF60MLTS is the spinning equivalent rated for 4–8 lb line and 1/16–1/4 oz lures.

The baitcasting model handles heavier work; the spinning model is oriented toward finesse. Both are ML power.
